Aggregate carrier in fatal collision
The 'Sada Maru No. 38' was in collision with a yacht on Aug 13, 2025, at 8.15 a.m., about two kilometers northeast of Hodojima Island, Tsukumi City, Oita Prefecture. The captain of the vessel has been arrested by the Japanese authorities after the fatal accident. The aggregate carrier transporting gravel struck the yacht amid poor visibility. The captain of the vessel notified the Japanese Coast Guard, stating that the yacht had disappeared and was believed to have sunk. The Coast Guard responded with six patrol boats and one airplane in an SAR operation. Around 10 a.m., the body of a 70-year-old man was recovered. He was reported to be in cardiac arrest and pronounced deceased at a hospital. After identifying the deceased person as Dr. Makoto Yamamoto, age 70, they were able to interview witnesses and determined that he was alone on the boat. Captain Yuki Mochizuki, age 28, was suspected of failing to take proper precautions. The Oita Coast Guard did not believe the 'Sada Maru No. 38' had slowed or stopped after the incident. The four other crew members aboard the vessel were interviewed to investigate the cause of the accident further. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVrcT5LYBw
